RENOVATE

Cathy Robinson has been decorating homes for nearly 20 years, so it's not surprising that her new store and studio space, Renovate, looks as cozy as a house. Located in a residential corner of Spring Branch, the new Renovate shop opened March 25 with painted furniture, linen throw pillows, pottery, books, candles and unique art pieces. It's also a design destination, Robinson's daughter Courtney Robinson Proshaska tells HoustonChronicle.com. 7413 Westview, Suite C, 713-269-4417, renovatehou.com.
